Regardless of age there is something about Sabriel that causes people to resonate with her. The connection you will feel during her performance is so personal, and regardless of how each individual interprets the lyrics it is all raw honest emotion. "There are tons of young artists and so many idols I would die to collaborate with, such as: The Internet, Hiatus Kaiyote, Emily King, and Yuna, says Sabriel. But if I’m dreaming big I would say Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, D’angelo, Maxwell, etc. But my brain would explode before I could get the chance to actually sit down with them." I don't know about you, but the future is looking very bright for this young artist.
